His grand-son Charles Gidley Wheeler has written an auto-biography "Another Father, Another Son" which I would get a copy of if found one at a decent price, as looks an interesting read. Preview is available on Google;

I'm not sure if the above is exactly the same as another book he wrote "A Good Boy Tomorrow: Memoirs of a Fundamentalist Upbringing"; https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=QnJf-icAGI4C&lpg=PT7&pg=PT6#v=onepage&q&f=false

I corresponded briefly with Charles Gidley Wheeler about thirty years ago, after learning of his rather turgid novel 'The Believer'. His grandfather Walter [c.1862-1914] was presumably given Gidley as his middle name as it was the maiden name of his mother [CGW's great-grandmother) Fanny Gidley. She had a sister called Catherine who very probably was the Miss Catherine ("Kate") Gidley whose notes of a sermon on Psalm 8 by B W Newton were copied by Amy Toulmin and were the subject of much controversy. She [Kate Gidley] was closely associated with brethren like Batten and Soltau (see Toulmin letter [26 Feb 1848; CBA 6998 f.6;] and Wyatt MSS 2, pp.265-8). According to the 1851 census the Gidley sisters lived in Plymouth with their widowed father Gustavus (aged 75 retired collector of excise) and their maternal aunt Catherine Rickard. Their next door neighbour was James Batten one of the elders at Ebrington Street. Timothy Stunt

I found this going thru some family things. Can you tell me when this was printed.
It’s a pamphlet “ Jesus said .I am the good shepherd”. The inside has it was printed in Germany
